Management API v3 adds the ability to specify custom check slugs, instead of
auto-generating them from check names. The Create a new check
and Update an existing check calls accept a new slug
parameter, and use it instead of generating the slug from the check's name.
Your requests to cron.roflcopter.fr Management API must authenticate using an API key. All API keys are project-specific. There are no account-wide API keys. By default, a project on cron.roflcopter.fr doesn't have an API key. You can create read-write and read-only API keys on the Project Settings page.
Only works with the following API endpoints:
Omits sensitive information from the API responses. See the documentation of individual API endpoints for details.
The client can authenticate itself by including an X-Api-Key: <your-api-key>
header in an HTTP request. Alternatively, for POST requests with a JSON request body,
the client can put an api_key field in the JSON document.
See the Create a new check section for an example.
For POST requests, the cron.roflcopter.fr API expects the request body to be
a JSON document (not a multipart/form-data encoded form data).
cron.roflcopter.fr uses HTTP status codes wherever possible. In general, 2xx class indicates success, 4xx indicates a client error, and 5xx indicates a server error.
The response may contain a JSON document with additional data.
GET https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/
Returns a list of checks belonging to the user, optionally filtered by one or more tags.
Filters the checks and returns only the checks with the specified slug. If there are no matching checks, returns an empty list. If there are multiple matching checks, returns all of them.
Example:
https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/?slug=backups
Filters the checks and returns only the checks that are tagged with the specified value.
This parameter can be repeated multiple times.
Example:
https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/?tag=foo&tag=bar
curl --header "X-Api-Key: your-api-key" https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/

When using the read-only API key, cron.roflcopter.fr omits the following fields from responses:
uuid, ping_url, update_url, pause_url, resume_url, channels. It adds an
extra unique_key field. The unique_key identifier is stable across API calls, and
you can use it in the Get a single check

POST https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/
Creates a new check and returns its ping URL. All request parameters are optional and will use their default values if omitted.
With this API call, you can create both Simple and Cron checks:
timeout parameter.schedule and tz parameters.string, optional, default value: ""
Name for the new check.
Changed in API v3: the check's slug is no longer automatically generated
from the check's name. Instead, the client can specify the slug explicitly
via the slug field.
string, optional, default value: ""
Slug for the new check. The slug should only contain the following
characters: a-z, 0-9, hyphens, underscores. Example:
{"slug": "my-custom-slug"}
string, optional, default value: ""
A space-delimited list of tags for the new check. Example:
{"tags": "reports staging"}
string, optional.
Description of the check.
number, optional, default value: 86400.
The expected period of this check in seconds.
Minimum: 60 (one minute), maximum: 31536000 (365 days).
Example for a 5-minute timeout:
{"timeout": 300}
number, optional, default value: 3600.
The grace period for this check in seconds.
Minimum: 60 (one minute), maximum: 31536000 (365 days).
string, optional.
A cron or systemd OnCalendar expression defining this check's schedule. cron.roflcopter.fr will detect the expression type (cron or OnCalendar) automatically.
The schedule parameter takes precedence over the timeout field: if you specify
both the timeout and the schedule parameters, cron.roflcopter.fr will save the
schedule and ignore the timeout.
Example using a cron expression ("run every half-hour"):
{"schedule": "0,30 * * * *"}
Example using an OnCalendar expression ("run at 12:00 of the last day of every month"):
{"schedule": "*-*~1 12:00"}
string, optional, default value: "UTC".
Server's timezone. This setting only has an effect in combination with the
schedule parameter.
Example:
{"tz": "Europe/Riga"}
boolean, optional, default value: false.
Controls whether a paused check automatically resumes when pinged (the default) or not. If set to false, a paused check will leave the paused state when it receives a ping. If set to true, a paused check will ignore pings and stay paused until you manually resume it from the web dashboard.
string, optional, default value: "".
Specifies the allowed HTTP methods for making ping requests. Must be one of the two values: "" (an empty string) or "POST".
Set this field to "" (an empty string) to allow HEAD, GET, and POST requests.
Set this field to "POST" to allow only POST requests.
Example:
{"methods": "POST"}
string, optional.
By default, this API call assigns no integrations to the newly created check.
Set this field to a special value "*" to automatically assign all existing integrations. Example:
{"channels": "*"}
To assign specific integrations, use a comma-separated list of integration UUIDs. You can look up integration UUIDs using the List Existing Integrations API call.
Example:
{"channels":
"4ec5a071-2d08-4baa-898a-eb4eb3cd6941,746a083e-f542-4554-be1a-707ce16d3acc"}
Alternatively, if you have named your integrations in cron.roflcopter.fr dashboard, you can specify integrations by their names. For this to work, your integrations need non-empty unique names, and they must not contain commas. The names must match exactly, whitespace is significant.
Example:
{"channels": "Email to Alice,SMS to Alice"}
array of string values, optional, default value: [].
Enables "upsert" functionality. Before creating a check, cron.roflcopter.fr looks for
existing checks, filtered by fields listed in unique.
If cron.roflcopter.fr does not find a matching check, it creates a new check and returns it with the HTTP status code 201.
If cron.roflcopter.fr finds a matching check, it updates the existing check and returns it with HTTP status code 200.
The accepted values for the unique field are
name, slug, tags, timeout, and grace.
Example:
{"name": "Backups", unique: ["name"]}
In this example, if a check named "Backups" exists, it will be returned. Otherwise, a new check will be created and returned.
string, optional, default value: "".
Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Start" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas.
Use this field in combination with the filter_subject and filter_body fields.
Setting filter_subject to true enables filtering on the email subject line,
filter_body enables filtering on the entire email body. cron.roflcopter.fr supports both
plain text and HTML email messages.
Example:
{"filter_subject": true, "start_kw": "STARTED"}
In this example, cron.roflcopter.fr classifies the email as a start signal if the Subject line contains the word "STARTED".
string, optional, default value: "".
Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Success" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas.
Use this field in combination with the filter_subject and filter_body fields.
Setting filter_subject to true enables filtering on the email subject line,
filter_body enables filtering on the entire email body. cron.roflcopter.fr supports both
plain text and HTML email messages.
Example:
{"filter_subject": true, "success_kw": "SUCCESS,COMPLETED"}
In this example, the email counts as success if the Subject line contains either the word "SUCCESS" or the word "COMPLETED".
string, optional, default value: "".
Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Failure" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas.
Use this field in combination with the filter_subject and filter_body fields.
Setting filter_subject to true enables filtering on the email subject line,
filter_body enables filtering on the entire email body. cron.roflcopter.fr supports both
plain text and HTML email messages.
Example:
{"filter_subject": true, "failure_kw": "FAILED, ERROR"}
In this example, the email counts as failure if the Subject line contains either the word "FAILED" or the word "ERROR".

message body. See also the success_kw and failure_kw fields.
string, optional, default value: "".
Deprecated. Use the success_kw, filter_subject and filter_body fields
instead.
Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Success" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas. If any of the keywords is found in an email message's Subject line, the email message will count as "Success".
Set this field to "" (an empty string) to consider all inbound email messages as
"Success" (unless they match any keywords listed in subject_fail and are thus
classified as "Failure").
Example:
SUCCESS,COMPLETED
In this example, the email counts as success if the Subject line contains either the word "SUCCESS" or the word "COMPLETED".
string, optional, default value: "".
Deprecated. Use the failure_kw, filter_subject and filter_body fields
instead.
Specifies the keywords for classifying inbound email messages as "Failure" signals. Separate multiple keywords using commas. If any of the keywords is found in an email message's Subject line, the email message will count as "Failure".
Set this field to "" (an empty string) to perform no "Failure" classification.
Example:
FAILED,ERROR
In this example, the email counts as failure if the Subject line contains either the word "FAILED" or the word "ERROR".

POST https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/<uuid>/pause
Disables monitoring for a check without removing it. The check goes into a "paused"
state. You can resume monitoring of the check by pinging it, or by running
the Resume API call (useful when check's manual_resume=True).
This API call has no request parameters.

--request POST --header "X-Api-Key: your-api-key" --data ""
Note: the --data "" argument forces curl to send a Content-Length request header
even though the request body is empty. For HTTP POST requests, the Content-Length
header is sometimes required by some network proxies and web servers.

GET https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/<uuid>/flips/
GET https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/<unique_key>/flips/
Returns a list of "flips" this check has experienced. A flip is a change of status (from "down" to "up," or from "up" to "down").
This API endpoint supports time filtering via the seconds, start, and end query
parameters. If no time filters are specified, the API returns all stored
flips for a given check.
Notes about flip retention: cron.roflcopter.fr stores historic flips for the current month and for two full months prior to the current month. The cleanup of older flips is a manual administrative action. Therefore, cron.roflcopter.fr may return even older flips if the server administrator does not perform regular database cleanups.
Returns the flips from the last value seconds
Example:
https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/<uuid|unique_key>/flips/?seconds=3600
Returns flips that are newer than the specified UNIX timestamp.
Example:
https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/<uuid|unique_key>/flips/?start=1592214380
Returns flips that are older than the specified UNIX timestamp.
Example:
https://cron.roflcopter.fr/api/v3/checks/<uuid|unique_key>/flips/?end=1592217980
